   Non-Americans care about US elections for the same reason a hostage cares about the mental state of a gunman.

     @Alephwyr Indeed, other countries are not the only ones held hostage by US military might.

     When you have the strongest military in the world and you devolve into a fascist state guess who can come to your rescue?

     That’s right, no one.

     @aral i’m not saying you shouldn’t care. I am saying you should stop trying to tell Americans what course of action we should be taking when you lack the nuance of having lived in our political system.

     @cferdinandi I wouldn’t worry; when have Americans ever listened to the opinions of non-Americans anyway?

     @aral We seem to put a lot of stock in Russian and Chinese bot farms, so...
